About this map

Martin Lake and the Tallapoosa River dominate this portion of Tallapoosa County, where the water's winding reach separates settlements like Jacksons Gap and Sturdivant. The landscape is a complex network of narrow inlets and creeks, including Jay Bird Creek and Manoy Creek, which define the local topography. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, anchored by established communities and several small family or church burial grounds such as Concord Cem and Ephesus Cem.

Evidence of the area's river-based history is visible in features like Irwin Shoals and Peters Island, while the eastern portion contains the settlement of Tohopeka, a name deeply tied to the Creek War. Local transportation is represented by a dense grid of rural roads and larger arteries serving Alexander City, reflecting how contemporary infrastructure navigates the irregular shoreline of the reservoir.
